## How to unwrap, set up, and prepare a FoodSpot unit for operation.

### Prepare

 Review the **installation video** before going to the site.

#### Tools Needed for Every Install and Service Call

- Smartphone with earbuds, Zoom app, phone charger. 

- Screwdriver Set with small sizes 

- Torque Wrench and Sockets 

- Cable Stripper 

- Box Cutter 

- Wire Cutters 

- Electrical Tape 

- Power Drill (with standard drill bits) 

### Upon Arrival

- **Call the site contact**, and meet up with them, locate the smart fridge, and receive the main key + control box keys to the fridge
- **Request for bulk trash pickup** to happen in one hour. If this cannot happen, ask the site contact where to leave the trash.

### Perform Install

**Follow theInstallation instructions above.**

### Install Checks

- The door is level. If it is not, please adjust the hinge bolts with a wrench  
  ![door hinge](https://help.launchfoodspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/door%20hinge.jpg?width=400&height=534&name=door%20hinge.jpg)
- The door seals properly
- The deadbolt engages properly
- The fridge is cooling correctly.
- Both light strips are securely in place. Sometimes light strips become loose and need to be snapped back into their mounts. If the mount arms are bent too wide, use pliers to squeeze them together.
- If there are more than 3 fridges, put wheels on all fridges first and then proceed to the next steps.

### Post Install

- Ensure the fridges are **plugged in** and are cooling properly
- Ensure anyremaining **trash is thrown away** or set aside, based on instructions from the site contact. Text Isaac to notify him of completion
- **Email** support@launchfoodspot.com the following photos of each fridge 
    1. Close-up photo (fridge covers 90% of the frame). If fridges are in a cluster, one photo is fine:
